I waste a lot of time dealing with various **App Variables** and I feel the feature needs more love from the developers. These are some suggestions for how you could make my life as a developer a bit easier:

1. Add filter/search to App Variables in the same way as for e.g Actions
2. Add a way to hide unused variables. Makes it much easier to see what’s going on in existing actions
3. Add “Update App Variables” as a separate Action Node. App Variables deserves it.
